Methods of Evangelism

In their book, The Great Commission to Worship, Vernon Whaley and David Wheeler takes an in depth look at commandment from Jesus for His followers to go out and spread the Good News of salvation. Today’s Christian seems to have a misconception about their role in evangelism. As the authors stated, “many times in Scripture it appears

The person whom I intend to share the Gospel with is my friend Drew Harmatz. We have been friends now for over three years and over that time grown to be really good friends. Even though we are good friends we do not share the same beliefs. Drew is Jewish and has chosen to stick with his birth religion because he likes the Jewish moral compass. Basically, he has expressed that he feels the Jewish culture is more peaceful and presents a better moral basis than that of any other religion. While we have talk of God, Christ, and the Bible; I have never tried to relay the Gospel to him.

This book “The Art of Personal Evangelism is not to hard to read all of the task of the person who winning to believe in Jesus Christ. McRaney well said about task of evangelism as a practitioner for both the

The Romans road method of evangelism is a clear and effective means of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This technique is called the Romans road because it takes the hearer through certain passages in the book of Romans that explain the main points of the Gospel. The first reference in the Romans road is Romans 3:23 which states “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. This verse establishes the groundwork that shows the need for the good news at all. It shows that every person has failed to measure up to God’s perfect standards. The next pit stop on the Romans road explains why being sinful is such a problem. Romans 6:23 reads “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

I emphatically believe its valid important to use personal stories and other parables we may have heard to increase the effectiveness in our evangelic messages. In my personal journey as I heard the message it was the most impactful throughout heard the personal stories of the messenger who share the message. Personal stories definitely bring impact the lives of the listeners and give them greater understanding and as well give them a modern-day model of biblical relevant results on how one’s upholding authoritative biblical truths.

29-30- “That 's what happens when we meet Jesus and are amazed by him: we go to tell others, including those who have turned against us.” This is how the gospel is spread, through people willingly and joyfully telling others

In chapter 7, David Platt builds the case for the argument that there is no other way to get the gospel out to about ( 4.5 billion people) by missionaries alone. The church itself seeing the urgency in this matter needs to step up and take immediate action. “ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.If Bible believing Christians would take this command seriously and do what God has called them to do, then more people around the world would have intimate and life “ saving and changing” relationships with Jesus Christ.

The purpose of this book is meant to create a foundation for Christian lifestyles. It addresses the origin of Christian values, and portrays the evolution of Christian worldviews throughout history. It briefly explains the biblical narrative and develops ideas in which Christians are able to live out their faith and deal with other worldviews existing in our world today.

Living life as a Christian, in many ways is difficult in that there is always a war being fought by the enemy for your faith. Dickson insists that, “there are clear New Testament passages urging us all to speak up for Christ when we can” (Dickson, 101). Christians are called to a life of spreading the gospel to all mankind and nations. Dickson urges that the gospel is the announcement of our King coming to make all things new again. Christian’s are called by Jesus Himself to spread this news and work of God’s anointed King and messiah Jesus! The main nugget Christians should take from this is how everyone is not an evangelists, however, Christians are clearly called to proclaim Christ from our lips as well as

Jesus also points out the sin she has committed and instructs her to submit her life and worship the Father in Spirit and in truth, and then finally introduces Himself to her. Also Jesus by washing the feet of His disciples shows how He becomes a servant and show the love he has for them, in the same manner the most effective type of evangelism is love, compassion and serving like Jesus.

Discussion of three Methods of Evangelism their effectiveness and possible shortcomings and which method would be suitable for the author to use.

The “Confrontational” evangelistic method I chose to research is Evangelism Explosion. This method was started in the early 1960’s by James Kennedy, pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Evangelism Explosion is a ministry that trains people how to share their faith in Christ and how to bring people from unbelief to belief.” Groups of three, after initial

The complete salvific message is often misinterpreted or misunderstood as being the only way to “receive” Christ. The basic model of the sinner’s prayer is simple, though some have either more or less content. But what does praying this prayer accomplish other than propping up man’s pride and “getting numbers” if the one praying it really does not understand the gospel? As outlined previously, Scripture says that only the elect will be saved. Once a member of the elect comes to know who Christ is and his role in his continuing kingdom, then someone must baptize and disciple the new follower of Christ. This, however, usually does not occur at evangelical meetings. Gary North argues

Matthew 9:35-38 (NIV) reads, Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Through the lens of this text God reveals to us the heart He has for His people in a lost and suffering world. Jesus points out to his disciples what we should find significant today, and that is

Christians are commanded in the Bible to take the gospel into all the world. God desires that all people know Him. However, since He is in heaven and not on the earth now, it is up to His people to show others the way to Him. Much of that testimony for Christ is through the way Christians lives are lived. It is well known that
